This year's closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Toronto turned absolutely epic when Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams joined together on stage for an epic duet of 'Badlands' as well as 'Cuts Like A Knife'. Even Prince Harry was enamoured by the show.

Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen perform together at Invictus Games closing ceremony

The 2017 Invictus Games came to a close on Saturday night (September 30th 2017) with a dream live duo made up of The Boss himself and the dashing Bryan Adams. The pair song two duets from their respective back catalogues to a thrilled crowd.

'The Groover from Vancouver' has followed The Boss by boycotting a show in protest over anti-LGBT laws.

Bryan Adams has followed Bruce Springsteen’s lead by cancelling a scheduled show in protest against an “incomprehensible” anti-LGBT law that allows businesses in the state of Mississippi to refuse to serve gay people, or any section of society that offends a “sincerely held religious belief”.

The star, on tour promoting his new album Get Up!, announced on Sunday that he’s scrapping his show at Biloxi’s Mississippi Coast Coliseum on Thursday (April 14th) in protest at the ‘Religious Liberty’ bill 1523 being signed into law by the state recently. It allows not only religiously-affiliated organisations but also individuals, state employees and businesses to refuse to serve any other individual who somehow offends a religious sensibility.

Rock star Bryan Adams has been left fuming after an encounter with customs in Egypt, when a border official painted a number on a vintage guitar he owns.

56 year old Canadian star Adams, known as the Groover From Vancouver, was travelling to the North African country in order to perform a concert at the Pyramids in Giza, shared a picture of the vintage Martin acoustic guitar after the zealous border agent had at it with some green paint, scrawling a number and illegible figure on the wooden instrument near the neck.

“Airport customs graffiti on my 1957 Martin D-18 from Egypt” the rocker had captioned the Instagram photo, clearly displeased at what had happened.

An artist who genuinely needs no introduction, Bryan Adams releases his first album of original material since 2008's '11'. The Canadian has already announced global dates in support of the release, beginning in Australia in March 2016, before moving onto the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe.

A collection of nine songs and four acoustic versions, 'Get Up' is a snappy release in which the three minute mark is rarely breached by the offerings. It would be foolish to expect at this stage of his career that Adams would reinvent himself, but 'You Belong To Me' is an urgent rock'n'roll number tinged with country that may take casual observers by surprise, before 'Go Down Rockin'' heralds a return to more familiar territory. 'We Did It All' swoons inoffensively, 'That's Rock And Roll' is an appropriately titled, radio-friendly effort and 'Thunderbolt' has an odd charm due to its solid hooks. The acoustic presentations are very by-the-numbers affairs for stripped down numbers; something that Adams can do quite comfortably due to his voice and the style of his work. It concludes a solid package that will be acceptable to his following, but those attending his shows will no doubt still be awaiting the airing of his classics.
